CHICAGO, September 2.-There was a
bullish feeling in the wheat market at the
opening to day, but it was largely a con-
tinuance of the tone established in the al
ternoon session yesterday and did not last
long. There were evidently too many
''longs" who were anxious to take the
profit, however small, and when these par
ties began to realize the market weakened
from lack OF outside support. Corn was
rather quiet to-day, with trading m
what liInited and the feeling easier. Oats
were more active than yesterday, selling
higher early and lower at the close. Pro-
visions fairly active. Flour, prices con-
tinue firm. Wheat-Cash No. 2. spring
